Hello everyone,



After digging into relevant information for months, I’ve finally registered in United JetStream and considering to get a UnitedPassPlus.

I have a few questions which’ve never got answered by sales reps, or I couldn’t find online. I read entire thread here and couldn’t find my answers either.

Below some questions about PassPlusFlex individual contract.





1. MileagePlus status amenities: when is nominated status set to expire? Calendar/United year or last day of the contract? I understand that assigned status from initial investment will expire together with the contract (for example GS from 50K investment). But what about statuses for nominated accounts which were purchased from amenity list? Or is it the same thing?



2. Are prorated prices for amenities stackable with UA statues granted from partners? For example my spouse can have a free UA Silver from Marriott Titanium. Theoretically, I'll need only $5000 of amenity funds to upgrade her to Platinum instead of $7500, as she would already have her UA Silver from Marriott. Anyone has experience here?



3. My understanding that I can use funds only for myself plus one member, that’s clear. What about travel certificates which can be issued as in equivalent of the remaining unused funds? Are those certs can be only attached to account holder +1 member or they could be used by anyone? In my case, besides me and my spouse, we are mostly traveling to our contracts with 2 kids, often accompanied by family members. If I can convert my funds to certificates, my initial investment can be much, much larger.. Also, somebody mentioned here that those certs has validity for 5 years. True?


4. About discounts. Can I get 20% off in LH class G (intl) if I book it directly with Lufthansa rep over the phone/online or it has to be done only via UA Jet Stream? Class G is eligible for PP upgrades only if ticketed by LH. I also hope there’re no issues with upgrades since it’s discounted..
If the answer is "can only purchase 016 tickets", then is it possible to call and convert it to LH later?





Thank you very much for your answers and safe travels!



Viktor
